The Polite Wet Dogs of Provincetown Harbor

We all know the standing joke about the wet dog who runs to the nearest dry human and shakes the water off his or her fur. On our last visit to Provincetown, I watched this group of very polite wet dogs.

A kind man waited patiently on the sand to throw and rethrow the balls the dogs love to fetch.

Perhaps that man had worked on some special beach training to direct wet dogs racing his way to the place where he wanted them to shake.

If it did, the training was a success because these dogs did their shaking far from him.

This one had a good shake before leaving the water.

This one shook as soon as his paws hit the sand.

The trio would line up politely and wait for the next batch of balls to be tossed.

This young pup was the strongest swimmer but the other two did get their share of the prizes.

Thanks for the fun I had watching you romp and swim. See you all next trip!

For Sunday Dog Jackson, Life Is Best with a Stick

Jackson is a very beautiful chocolate Lab who just loves his sticks. We spotted him proudly prancing down the Commonwealth Avenue Mall carrying a stick that might wear down a lesser dog.

He did put it down for a quick hello and a good laugh at our silly Poppy who was jumping at his face saying, "Play pick-up sticks with me."

"Girl," he said, "you couldn't lift this stick if you grew to twice the normal Westie size!"

Then he hefted his log and gave it a few twirls and tosses to entertain the silly puppy kid and got all the people around him laughing along with him.

Hey Jackson, thanks for being a kind gent around our pesky pup. See you out playing pick-up sticks again soon!

“Norman” Aces Sunday Dog Audition!
Say hello to Norman, Boston’s newest canine star!

Ever since we made Poppy Director of Casting for our Sunday Dog feature, she’s always come through with the most dazzling talent. Norman aced his audition with a strong showing in agility – which means he can give Poppy a real workout!
Click on any thumbnail above to open that image in this space.

Of course, when puppies wear themselves out playing, it means they often sleep better and longer at home (just saying).

At seven months of age, Norman told us that he has a thing for balls – Tennis Balls! Although this active Westie also is attracted to squeaky toys, they have a very short lifespan in his care (if you ever need to a “squeaker-ectomy,” Norman’s your guy).

Norman really enjoys a good Kong toy stuffed with something special. Not an adventurous eater, this inquisitive little character will play with a carrot for 20-minutes before he figures out it’s food. Maybe parents really do have something when they tell their kids, “Eating carrots will help your eyesight” – just look at the sparkle in those eyes!

No wonder Norman aced his audition!

Sunday Dog, Ollie’s Favorite 4-Letter Word …
When you’re a 5-month-old puppy like Ollie and still trying to make sense of your world, the simplest 4-letter words can mean the most – like “PLAY!”

And, while coaxing a human to get down on all fours can be fun, there’s nothing quite like mixing it up with someone who’s already at your level and even the same age. Well, as it happens, we know someone who fits that exact description.
Click on any thumbnail above to open that photo in this window.

Our Poppy met Ollie in Provincetown this past week and the two became instant play pals. As you can see by clicking through the images above, they had a lot of fun and always seemed to play fair.

This handsome French Bulldog is a Vermont boy who’s growing fast and loving life. He also seems to love the camera – this guy’s a natural.

Thanks for all the play time, Ollie! Oh, and Poppy wants to know when you’ll be in Ptown again.
